Her abuse had been going on since then as he threatened her of
posting the alleged video clip on the internet.
A priest has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a
37-year-old married woman for the past five years in outer
Delhi's Rohini Sector 7 area, police said today.
The victim also alleged that the priest, identified as Rajesh
Pandey, video-recorded the act the first time around five years
ago and then repeatedly sexually assaulted her by threatening
her of leaking the video clip.
"The woman, who lives with her husband and their two children
at Rohini Sector 7, had approached Pandey who is a priest at a
nearby temple to seek solution to some of her domestic
problems. One day, Pandey took her to his residence on the
pretext of some ritual and allegedly raped her," said a senior
police official quoting the victim's complaint.
Her abuse had been going on since then as he threatened her of
posting the alleged video clip on the internet, he added.
Fed up with the years of abuse, the woman finally decided to
approach police and registered a complaint against him on
Thursday. The priest was subsequently arrested yesterday.
His mobile phones and some other gadgets have been seized by
the police and sent to FSL to retrieve the alleged video clip.
A case has been registered under relevant sections of the law
and investigation is underway, police said
